1912. | D. L. CrawFrorp: Indian Fsyllidae. 433 
Abdomen elongate, slender. Male—Anal valve long, con- 
stricted at base, sides subparallel ; claspers long, slender, subacute 
at tip, not toothed. Female—Dorsal genital valve irregular in 
outline, constricted near tip, acute; ventral valve usually as long 
as dorsal, broad basally (viewed from beneath), divided and very 
acute at tip. 
Described from seventeen males and females from Pusa, Ben- 
gal, on ‘‘ Silk Cotton.’’ This is very similar to the Japanese 
species Tenaphalara acutipennis, Kuwayama, differing only in a 
few minor characters. 
Homotoma distincta, n. sp. 
(Biv exsiy figsh-T \Uies Pl. sexxv fies P:) 
Length of body 1°7 mm.; length of forewing 2°8 mm.; great- 
est width 1°I mm.; width of vertex between eyes -37 mm.; with 
eyes'59mm. General colour light yellow, glossy ; antennae brown 
to black. Body rather small. 
Head short, somewhat deflexed, with eyes not quite as broad 
as thorax, deeply cleft in front between antennae; vertex glossy, 
sparsely pubescent, descending from each side to median line; 
anterior ocellus not visible from above; facial cones inferior, not 
visible from above, short, widely divergent, slightly pubescent. 
Antennae thick, more than twice as long as width of head, thickly 
pubescent; I stout, III as long as IV—VI; terminal setae short. 
Eyes large; labrum small. 
Thorax somewhat arched; pronotum short, depressed below 
dorsulum. Legs rather stout, short; hind tibiae without tooth at 
base. Forewings hyaline, transparent, acute at apex, about two 
and a half times as long as broad; first marginal cell wanting; 
second very large, including apex of wing; cubital petiole and base 
of second cubital very close to discoidal subcosta and base of 
radius but not joined thereto; radius short, black. 
Female—Genital segment about as long as rest of abdomen, 
stout; dorsal valve a little longer than ventral, both rather acute. 
Described from one female from Pusa, Bengal, taken ‘‘ on the 
wing.’’ This is very close to Homotoma radiatum, Kuwayama 
(Japan), but seems to be quite distinct in several respects. 
Allotrioza minuta, n. sp. 
(Pioexxiya ic. Ry Pi xcs i=.-F.) 
Length of body 1'2 mm.; length of forewing 1°8 mm.; great- 
est width °75 mm.; width of vertex between eyes ‘20 mm.; with 
eyes 34mm. General colour of male brown to dark brown, legs, 
facial cones and antennae light greenish yellow; female brown on 
vertex and dorsum of thorax and abdomen; ventral portion, legs,
